Description and Table of Contents

Description

Intended for cognitive psychologists, cognitive science researchers, clinical researchers and practitioners, and graduate students in psychology and cognitive science, this book bridges the gap between current research in cognitive science and contemporary clinical theory and practice. The book begins with the theoretical background to the intersection between cognitive and clinical science. It then goes onto to cover cognitive science models and theory as applied to particular clinical disorders, including anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive, dissociative and conversion, personality, Alzheimer's disease, and reading disability.
